Overview
Kun (7077m) is one of the highest peak of Suru valley which is located in Zanskar Himalayas. The Kun is located north of Nun and is separated from it by a snowy plateau of about 4km (2.5 mile) in length. Due to quick access from Leh to base camp and the ease with which a climbing permit can now be obtained, these are good options for those looking for an affordable 7,000er in quick time. The most frequented climbing area, the Nun-Kun massif comprises of several peaks, chief among them being Nun (7135m) and Kun (7077m). Kun is approachable from Gulmatongos (110km. from kargil).
